Nice course
It’s a little short from the tips but a nice place to play. The staff are warm and welcoming, but there are no amenities to sit and enjoy a beverage after the round. Greens were in great condition.
Nice 9 hole course
Well maintained (Watered) greens and fringe area which created really slow greens HOWEVER, all- in- all a fun, challenging course you finish in about an hour and a half.
We love Lake Bess Gofcourse
Perfect nine hole course; conditions and course were excellent.
Great and very friendly people. I will definitely be back
What a great course. Checking in was great staff friendly and helpful. Nice layout, one temporary green. Will play it again
Better the second time
I played this course once before, last year, when they were holding a tournament at my regular course, and Saturday was the same thing. Currently they have a couple of provisional greens which further shorten a course that already maxes out a 2300 for 9 holes. Bunkering is minimal, but the greens are small, the rough is lush (with all of the rain we've been having), and several of the tee shots demand either precision, or flighting your tee shot. The course favors a draw shot shape on 4 holes to avoid hazards and OB. Only one hole (the eighth) favors a fade, but that hole requires a blind shot across a waste area to a fairway running at almost a 90 degree angle to the tee box. A couple of the short par fours play through some live oak that leave you a very limited route high, but, if you can flight a low ball the options are much better.
I say all of that to point out that, this may be sort of an executive course (par 35) because it is shorter, but that doesn't mean it doesn't demand some precision and a variety of shots to play it well.
It's a fun course, and inexpensive. They don't have a grill. But, on a Saturday morning we (a twosome) played 18 holes (two loops) in less than 3 hours (we rode, but it's also very walkable).
Not real good right now
Customer service was great.
Pace was ok until the last hole, older twosome decided to use 9 fairway as the driving range with zero concern that we were behind them.
Temp greens on most, ones that are not are just not real good.
Basically you're just practicing.
Very short 3 executive course has great potential.
Lake bess
My wife and I were looking for a place to go hit some balls,I seen lake bess on golf now,and seen it was close.its not a bad course to go play around,and practice some shots,will return.
I can't wait for this course to have thier greens in order. They should mark on the tee box that the green is short.
